"Derrick White scored 13 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter and added a career-high seven blocks in a one-of-a-kind performance Tuesday night that carried the Boston Celtics to a 129-119 win over the Utah Jazz. White became the 13th player in NBA history to have 27 points, seven rebounds, six assists and seven blocks in a game. But he was the first guard - or member of the Celtics - to post that statistical combination."
"Utah committed 13 turnovers that led to 23 points for Boston while only scoring five points off the Celtics' eight turnovers. Some extraordinary shotmaking was on display but both teams allowed a bevy of straight-line drives to the basket and wide-open 3-pointers. White's blocks (tied for the most by an NBA guard) and Neemias Queta's three steals were the exceptions on defense."
